UK government unveils new 'anti-terrorism plan' - 24 Mar 09

The new so-called "anti-terrorism" strategy describes threats to the UK, and gives details on how the government proposes to protect the UK.

It suggests al-Qaeda, while still the greatest threat, "may not survive in its current form" amid continued international pressure - but will still have the capability to conduct "significant attacks".

It also suggests giving greater support to "mainstream" Muslim voices in Britain.

Al Jazeera's Harry Smith has this report.

stop killing muslims and withdraw troops from islamic countries, and dont support dictators and criminals in power in islamic countries. And anti-western sentiments will vaporize instantly

[dano9181]

Cancer, AIDs, car crashes, and bad diets kill people more than a handful of terrorists. If we spent billions more on these bigger problems more people would be alive today. in the US alone, 400,000 die of Cancer every year but no!! we have to fork over billions to fight what? 10,000 "insurgents" who used to be regular people. also i agree with Shamlawar

The worst terrorists of all are the British Government themselves. They pay bonuses to local councils to reach adoption targets (child trafficking). They give social services the power to act outside of the court arena (violation of the Human rights act by denying the right to a fair trial). They take children away from innocent parents. They threaten to imprison any parent that tries to go public. They use police intimidation. If this happened anywhere else it would be classed as dictatorship

It is 'training' these 60,000 shop workers for no other reason than spreading the false and exegerated fear.

The people we should REALLY be affraid are our OWN GOVERNMENT.

They are the ones who have deceived you time after time.

Stop believing all they tell you and learn to THINK FOR YOURSELVES.

okey u mean , give them another reason to hate.. well done jimmy!

[sohaibmansoor]

US sponsored these islamists during soviet war. these islamists were used again during iraq/afghan invasion and now in pakistan. They themselves propagated the concept of radical islam althou in negative sense. Discrimination created vacumm among muslims, some narrow sighted people identified themselves with radical islamists , so that phenomena gave birth to REAL TERRORISTS, which i guess US didnt thought of... and now everyone around the globe trying to neutralise them.

BULLSHIT

[Zildjian285]

I saw on the News today that the government plan to monitor and save all information on social networking sites, all web browsing habits and save all phone calls, etc. on a single database.

That is fucking crazy. Basically, there will soon be a database of everyone in the UK containing their browsing habits, phone calls, emails, etc. We have no privacy in the UK anymore and the terrorists have offically won.

As soon as I make some good money I am emigrating, last one turn out the lights.

THE UK is sooooooo stupid not to understand what they are doing that creates such rage against them. NO one ever accused the UK of being smart !!
